Legislation Will Empower FDA to Address Asbestos in Makeup

This reporting is mandatory within 15 business days of the adverse event. The FDA will also have access to adverse event reports during an inspection. The process for submitting mandatory adverse events for cosmetics is being developed. Facilities: Manufacturers and processors must now register their facilities with the FDA and renew registration every two years. A facility registration may be suspended if the FDA determines products made or processed there could cause adverse health consequences. Ingredients: Cosmetic products must be listed with the FDA and include a list of ingredients updated annually.  Safety: Safety substantiation is required to maintain records supporting the safety and substantiation of cosmetic products. Data used to support the safety substantiation must be derived from scientifically robust methods. MoCRA also requires the industry to comply with FDA regulations for good manufacturing practices, fragrance allergen labeling and standardized testing methods for detecting and identifying asbestos in talc-containing cosmetic products. Many of the MoCRA provisions have one-year deadlines and are expected to take effect in December 2023. There are exemptions to MoCRA for certain small businesses.
